1.4 Display Overview
The Daktronics Indoor LED displays have been designed and manufactured for performance,
reliability, easy maintenance and long life. The displays consist of an array of LED pixels.
The configuration of the LED pixels is dependent on the family of LED displays. The
standard character is seven pixels high by five pixels wide.
A typical system consists of a Windows
®
based personal computer (PC) running Venus
®
1500
software and one or more displays. The PC controls one or more multi-line displays. The
displays are offered as single-face displays, which are single-sided stand-alone units. They
can become double-faced by mounting them back-to-back with a second unit.
The Venus 1500 is a software package which runs under Windows 3.1x or Windows 95
®
operating systems on an IBM
®
-compatible computer. Refer to the Venus 1500 controller
manual, ED-12717, for installation and maintenance of the Venus 1500 editing station.
InfoNet multi-line displays are character-based indoor LED displays which are available in
monochrome red or tri-color (red, green and amber) characters. Daktronics offers multi-line
displays with a 2.1” character in four (4) different lengths. The InfoNet model numbers are
described as follows: G-X00-L-7xCCC-2.1
G = InfoNet Line Display
X00 = 100 = Indoor Monochrome Red
L = Number of Lines
7 = 7 rows high
CCC = The number of columns long (120, 160, 200 and 240 are available)
